Frigidaire Rotary Knob 131873401 OEM Part

Washer/Dryer Combo Selector Knob, White

This replacement knob is crafted specifically for D-shaped model shafts, playing a vital role in initiating laundry appliance operations. With a diameter of 1.0-0.5 inches, the knob is suited for several brands, including Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models, particularly designed for use with Frigidaire laundry centers.

As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, it serves an important function in the selection and adjustment of various machine settings and cycles.

Typically, the knob may fail due to standard wear and tear from frequent use, which can cause it to fit loosely or become difficult to turn. Accidental impacts may also lead to cracks or breaks, compromising its functionality.

Signs indicating the need for knob replacement include:

- Difficulty in adjusting cycles or settings due to a knob that is either too loose or stiff.
- Inability to start the laundry center as the knob does not engage the necessary settings.
- Visible physical damage or wear that affects the knob's effectiveness.

If these issues arise, consider replacing the knob to maintain your appliance’s optimal performance.
